Snehadhara Foundation (SF) started its journey out of a 3 BHK house in a residential area in J.P. Nagar, in 2012. Literally ‘stream of love,’ Snehadhara got its name from Sneha, one among the small group of children to attend the fledging Direct Care Centre for people with special needs.

Since its inception, Snehadhara Foundation has made a profound impact, directly benefiting over 10,500 children and adults through hands-on interventions, and indirectly reaching a staggering 75,000 individuals. Our commitment extends globally, having trained more than 3000 professionals across 550 organizations in eight countries, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Qatar, Canada, Argentina, and Brazil. Snehadhara has established itself as the foremost institution in the country to offer the Arts Practices for Inclusion Course. Since its inception in Argentina in 2019, this course has embarked on a transformative journey across numerous cities in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, training over 150 individuals in Arts Practices for Inclusion since 2020.
